Part 3 All He Has for Me (Discovering my Spiritual Gift/s) All Believers Have All of God.
We will not get any more love, or any more of the Holy Spirit, or any more of the gifts than we now possess. There is no need to seek a second blessing from God. Salvation is impossible apart from Spiritual baptism, and that occurs once, at the time of salvation (1Cor. 12:13). However, contrasting being drunk, we are commanded to be filled with the Spirit (Eph. 5:13 check out 4137 in Thayer’s*). This is a matter of who is controlling you.
May I remind us that, we are responsible as stewards of all that we do have, and in Christ alone we have a lot! We have already seen, and we emphasize that, once we discover our gift then we can begin to develop and use our gift and experience more fully the potential of its use for the Lord and we will glorify God and benefit others.

Thanks for your testimony and contribution here and to the body of Christ.
To be sure of one’s salvation in Christ alone, is the best! Just as we can be sure of salvation I contend that we can also be sure of our spiritual gift/s. We must be willing to patiently discover it or them so that by application God will be glorified, and the body will grow, and others out side the fold will benefit as well.
It sounds like you have some good friends and a handful of prayer warriors in you life. I think I know one or two of them ;~)
